whole body or a small part of the body. It

is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g)

of matter. This measurement is used to

determine whether a wireless phone

complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my

exposure to radiofrequency energy

from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products - and

at this point we do not know that there is

- it is probably very small. But if you are

concerned about avoiding even potential

risks, you can take a few simple steps to

minimize your exposure to radiofrequency

energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives,

reducing the amount of time spent using a

wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If

you must conduct extended conversations

by wireless phone every day, you could

place more distance between your body

and the source of the RF, since the exposure

level drops off dramatically with distance.

For example, you could use a headset and

carry the wireless phone away from your

body or use a wireless phone connected to

a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data

do not demonstrate that wireless phones

are harmful. But if you are concerned about

the RF exposure from these products, you

can use measures like those described

above to reduce your RF exposure from

wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless

phones?

The scientific evidence does not show

a danger to users of wireless phones,

including children and teenagers. If you

want to take steps to lower exposure to

radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures

described above would apply to children

and teenagers using wireless phones.

Reducing the time of wireless phone use

and increasing the distance between

the user and the RF source will reduce

RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by

other national governments have advised

that children be discouraged from using

wireless phones at all. For example,

the government in the United Kingdom

distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They

noted that no evidence exists that using

a wireless phone causes brain tumors or
